Award-winning author Stephen Graham Jones returns with Night of the Mannequins, a contemporary horror story where a teen prank goes very wrong and all hell breaks loose: is there a supernatural cause, a psychopath on the loose, or both? ![]() ![]() ![]() It tells the story of illustrator Marisa, who moves in with her boyfriend Jake after just a couple of months, soon after which they start trying for a baby. Set against a London backdrop that I know, miss, and love, Magpie is a stylish and smart domestic noir ripe with jealousy, infertility, motherhood, obsession, and power, that offers a unique take on how we as humans’ function, and how too we fall apart when things don’t go according to plan. ![]() ![]() Magpie Book ReviewĪ book that I knew I would love as soon as I started it, Magpie has all the ingredients for an unputdownable and pacy read. And while I’m not usually one to hanker after torrential rain and looming skies, the bleak and blustery weather earlier in the week offered the perfect excuse to hunker down with a book, and so I spent a day curled up and cosy on the sofa, armed with a blanket, hot water bottle and copious cups of tea, as I lost myself in Day’s brilliant new novel. Thus, it was with some glee that I discovered that her latest novel, Magpie, was to be released amid Sydney’s never-ending lockdown (84 days and counting as I type). She’s without a doubt one of my go-to writers, and is something of a literary rarity given her command of both fiction and non-fiction. I’ve long been a fan of Elizabeth Day’s ever since I first started listening to her brilliant and beloved podcast, How to Fail with Elizabeth Day. ![]() ![]() Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

He converts to Islam to marry her, and then she has to endure, not just the suffocation of a scaled down lifestyle, but also the indignity of abuse from his family and his increasing unease with the situation.
